Little Rosewood Casket

Little Rosewood Casket - Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys

In a little rosewood casket

In the hall up on a stand

There's a package of old love

Letters written by a true love's hand

Won't you go and get them sister

Read them o'er to me tonight

I have tried so hard to read them

Both the tears they blind my sight

Place his letters and his pictures

Both together by my heart

With a little ring he gave me

From my finger ne'er shall part

When I'm dead and in my casket

And deep in my grave I lie

I want to be there close beside

Him when they lay me down to die
